Thread: AO Prefs manager

  1. #1

    AO Prefs manager

    Hallo friends. The time hassling with AO Preference files are over!

    I made a new tool from ground up, and called it AO Dust Prefs (currently at version 1.5.2 - 2017)
    System Requirements:
    - Must have AO installed / or started at some point.
    - Windows with Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 or later installed. (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/down....aspx?id=17851) (you dont need this if your running windows vista or windows 10.

    Ver1.1
    Functions:
    - Fully backing-up your AO Character settings files, and put them in to a simple management.
    - Make your own profiles to swap back and fort.
    - Copy your live settings to test-server by 1 click, or from Testserver to live server
    - Simple console to browse your profiles. (more to come here)
    - Tool is portable, your backup files are stored in your tools folder. (example put it in a usb-stick)

    Ver 1.2
    - Fixed issue where more than 1 name AO folder occur
    - Works with windows 10

    Ver 1.3
    - Added warning info on Ao status.

    Ver 1.4
    - Check for corrupted prefs files.

    Ver 1.5.2
    - (This solved allot of issues some people had with ID)
    - Now works with steam client, where steam version created folders with empty account.
    - You can select which ID you want to inspect or backup/restore
    - "Almost" bulletproof, still not protected from NotumWars nukes.
    (thanks to Vanitra for helping with debug tracing)
    Also thanks to Lougi0 for reporting issue, and bringing good proposals for version 1.6 with
    more network support.

    If any one have any issue let me know so I can fix it quick. Also any ideas or proposals welcome.

    To use it:

    1. Selected the correct ID (use inspect button if your unsure which one is the correct one)
    2. Select the account you want to restore and correct server
    3. Backup your current prefs (you should keep this program on a USB stick)
    4. Move the program to another PC / or reinstallation
    5. Restore your accounts (The account name must match, if no account shows, start Ao one time normal)

    Play Ao like where you left it.

    I get a 403 forbidden - access is denied when trying to access the download link.

    Is the source available anywhere?

    Source code..yes coming soon. Just small adjustment and documentation.

    Try this page for alternative download http://aotools.netmax.no/
    I get a 403 forbidden on that page, and on www.netmax.no as well.

    Edit: It works fine from another IP.

    Hmm.. It's working fine here, for the record. I can access the download, the aotools site and www.

    I have a bunch of lazily made .bat scripts to switch between a few preferences sets (different resolutions/ui setup) so I'm not sure I'll use the tool.. but I might test it at some point for the sake of testing

    Just to clarify this tool does not at current version change your game settings, just your characters preference.

    I received your PM now. You're suggesting I'm probably on the servers blacklist because of strange URL queries. I find this incredibly unlikely. I also find it a contradiction to your previous statement.

    I suggest you get a webhost that doesn't suck.

    Hehe does the blacklist tells more about you or the server? That is the question I take security highly seriously my friend. A simple PM me back would fix it.

    Why on earth would you need https to download a file? I use https when there is 2 way communication.
    Maybe you should learn some basics about security before you play cowboy?

    ..please stick to the topic, if you want to debate security, make a new thread about it.

If i make a webpage on this, i most likely use https if there is any thing that needs to be secured. Mind you that ssl is easy hackable (crypto attack), so if you think https is the ultimate security, your wrong..

    I was pointing out the irony of your statement.
    Not going to get into another pointless internet debate about security.

    I am also working a AO Client Database/Resource parser that probably will be integrated in to this tool for further functions. Skipping the need for old outdated reflection/dumping tools.

    Great initiative! will it work like a online database storage where you can access the prefs without a physical storage? Or do i download the program and then switch prefs at my will?

    thanks for your positive feedback. Version 1.1 will backup your prefs into the tool it self(no server/clound storage) so you can move the tool on different computers and you will have your prefs available to restore any where. Version 1.2 there be a network storage function. I am also working on a function to copy prefs from 1 character to another in a manageable fashion, this also opens ability for simple damage meter parsing in realtime true a GUI.

    Its going pretty well but I am redoing the game core/ to match Unity Engine 5 and the new Network system. The game will be released in a different name around 2016, so you will probably not see any thing public before that time. The engine is just a dream to work with, and the canvas GUI.
